Nokia 928 receives texts but won't display them

2 weeks ago everything was great. I put phone on airplane mode for 2 weeks while offshore. Wi-fi only. Got back into port yesterday. I have great signal. I turned off airplane mode. I can make calls. BUT when I send or receive texts, they don't show up in a thread in my standard text messaging app that came with the phone. To be clear, if I choose a pre-existing text thread and send a text, the text vanishes instead of appearing in the thread. Then the intended recipient receives it normally. If someone sends me a text, if I am looking at my homepage (with the tiles/icons) I get my text notification and a banner appears at top of screen showing the first few words of the text, so I know I have received the text, but when I open the messenger, the text isn't there. This has been going on for 24 hours now. The only text I've received that have actually displayed in the messenger are the two I got from Verizon when I set up this account to ask this question.
Any advice?

Hey IDescribe!
How bizarre. But, you need not worry any longer as we'll be sure to get those phantom texts back in your messaging bucket.
Now, I'd like to thank you for the great details so we can already scratch off a couple of steps. The first thing I would do, since you just arrived back on land is to remove/reinsert the SIM card for at least 60 seconds so as to refresh your device with the network. When that is complete, please delete out all of your text message threads. And finally, to test, please send a text to yourself. Keep us in the loop on how this works.

IPhone 5 receives emails but won't send them

-- now sorted thanks to Judian35's reply (Jan '13) to a previous query. Worked a treat, but the email sending should've worked first time surely? Seemed a strange sort of fix to me. Diesels and hydraulics more my bag....

You will need to go to your email settings - SMTP outgoing mail server and make sure the password is correct.

I have a Nokia N96 and i can recieve texts, but i am unable to send ones, i have signal and everything, i got told to make sure that there is a mobile phone looking number on the messaging center, if there is no one, contact my phone provider, but there is a number, and it still will not send texts. Is the mobile number in the messaging center, my actual phone number??
Sorry i asked this on you discussion, but its soo confusing .
The mobile phone looking number is what you call the message center number. Contact your service provider to get the actual one. Then, make sure that you have the same number updated in Messaging -> Options -> Settings -> Text messages -> Msg. centre in use.
This is not your "actual phone number".

Says [Receiving Text] but they are blank

I just downgraded my phone from OS 6 and all my text bubbles are blank but the date and time are there and in the front of every thread it says [Receiving Text] but have yet to show up. Has this happened to anyone else?

I am having the exact same problem. It is driving me nuts because I have text messages that I need.

My iphone 5 for some reason can receive calls, send & receive texts but can not call out

My iphone 5 for some reason can receive calls, send & receive texts but can not call out

I am not sure if this issue is going to help you but lets give it a try.
I know that where im from, which is the Netherlands, I am not able to sent e-mails from my iPhone or any other mobile device by using 3G or a random WIFI acces point. The provider only allowes you to sent e-mails when you are connected to a network of there own. Which means if you have provider "101" and your email settings are set up for this provider in your iPhone but your using the network of a friend of yours which is provider "202" you cannot sent emails from his network. Though you can receive them you may not sent.
As I said, I am not aware if this issue is the same for you totaly depents on the country and provider your using.

You can check this support document regarding troubleshooting Messages http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
However, SMS is a carrier function. You say that iMessage is working, so I would contact the carrier since it is SMS is not working.

Receiving texts but not sending or calling, networks fine.

Present network, receives texts but doesnt send, call (sorry we are experiencing technical difficulites) and no internet (Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet) HELLLPPP
I have rebootyed it and reset all network settings ect

Have you contacted your carrier?
They can send a reset to your iPhone which must be powered off when this is done, so call from a landline.
Or the SIM card may have a problem and needs to be replaced.

After three decades of Windows I decided to find my spouse a birthday/Christmas IMAC but if I don't do something soon about this learning curve we may part company after 44 years...
Is there someone out there that can assist me with these issues?

Okay, now that I'm in the right forum I see that this seems to be an ongoing problem. I checked the antivirus and that didn't do anything.
I did change the port from 25 to 587 and that seems to have opened up the outgoing emails. They've seemed to been sent since they're no longer in the outbox.
BUT...now I can't seem to receive emails. Ugh......
I ran the Verizon email fix app and it says it couldn't send an email now and I should call the 800 #. What the heck is going on here when everything was working perfectly before?!

TS3276 I can receive emails but I cannot send them. I have recently renewed my password. What do I do to send emails please?

Help! I can receive emails but I cannot send them. I have recently changed my password. What am I doing wrong?

You need to open Mail>Preferences>Accounts>"Account Information" tab>and there input the required information for your Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP). Your Internet Service Provider will have the required information to give you to input here. Make sure that you also click at the end of the line "Outgoing Mail Server" on the arrows to get the dropdown list, and there click on "Edit SMTP Server List" and fill in the data in that resulting window also.

Hi Tnolen15,
If you are having issues sending or receiving messages from a specific contact (in this case, your wife), you may find this portion of the following article helpful (ignore the numbering):
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.

After transferring my contacts on to my iPhone, I cannot send or receive text messages to some of them. Even if they text me, I cannot reply!

After transferring my contacts to my iPhone, I can no longer send or receive text messages from some of them. Even if they text me, I cannot send a reply!

Same problem persists also here. Have crosschecked with friend, all same settings, have deleted the contacted, created again, still that number does not receive my SMS (no question on iMessage). Can not even reply her message. This problem persists with few numbers, nothing common, different phones, different countries, different operators. All others, with different operators, in different coutries receive my messages. Even other people can send their SMS to her.
